The Reva and Leia stuff was well done, but they had a nothing story for Obi-Wan. He just kind of bumbled around the galaxy just to have another lightsaber duel with Vader/Anakin and then go back to Tatooine.

Well done…You mean that part where the 9 year old evades the grown men? Yeah that show sucks….

That awful sequence aside, Leia herself was a highlight in the show for sure.

Wish I could agree my friend. I want the brand to be so much more. :(

I just don’t think Kenobi was ever a series or movie that ever needed to be made. It was a bad idea to begin with because the way it ends has to be the same way it starts, with him being a hermit in the desert.

Just some baffling decisions. I can’t remember who pointed it out but the whole idea that he’s meant to be there protecting the boy and yet, he’s kinda let it slip?

What is with this generation of filmmakers making our heroes completely different from whom they use to be. Rambo, Luke, Obi Won. I don’t get it. I love that Tom Cruise basically said, “Fuck that. I’m the hero. I act like a hero the whole time.”

I mean Luke’s story was amazing. To me seeing our heroes 30 years later being some unchanged uber flawless badass is lame. And not an interesting story. What they did with Luke in the sequels is a highlight for me. I LOVE HelloGreedo’s video on this: https://youtu.be/KVtol2CDkn8

However - Obi-Wan didn’t change, and THAT was the issue. That’s why telling a story for him in that era is silly. He was a depressed hermit when we saw him at the end of Episode III and he was the same depressed hermit when we meet him in IV so any story told between those two is nothing but fluff because the character never gets the opportunity to change.

Reva’s story was absolute nonsense. She survives things that she shouldn’t survive and her motivations make absolutely no sense. She becomes an inquisitor to kill the remaining Jedi to get close to Vader so she can kill him to avenge the Jedi 😂

And now she's yet another Force-user running around in the background doing nothing during the movies.

Eh she survived being stabbed. Something that’s happened all the time. It’s a fantasy after all. She was one of the only entertaining aspects of the show.
